8775be3393 store Symbols in a table as well, like positions
this slightly increases the amount of memory used for any given symbol, but this
increase is more than made up for if the symbol is referenced more than once in
the EvalState that holds it. on average every symbol should be referenced at
least twice (once to introduce a binding, once to use it), so we expect no
increase in memory on average.

symbol tables are limited to 2³² entries like position tables, and similar
arguments apply to why overflow is not likely: 2³² symbols would require as many
string instances (at 24 bytes each) and map entries (at 24 bytes or more each,
assuming that the map holds on average at most one item per bucket as the docs
say). a full symbol table would require at least 192GB of memory just for
symbols, which is well out of reach. (an ofborg eval of nixpks today creates
less than a million symbols!)

6526d1676b replace most Pos objects/ptrs with indexes into a position table
Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and
input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed
this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for
ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate
a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's
not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to
locate positions instead.

d439dceb3b optionally return string_view from coerceToString
we'll retain the old coerceToString interface that returns a string, but callers
that don't need the returned value to outlive the Value it came from can save
copies by using the new interface instead. for values that weren't stringy we'll
pass a new buffer argument that'll be used for storage and shouldn't be
inspected.

forceValue: make pos mandatory
- Make passing the position to `forceValue` mandatory,
  this way we remember people that the position is
  important for better error messages
- Add pos to all `forceValue` calls

toJSON: report error position for fancier output
Given flake:

```nix
{ description = "nix json error provenance";
  inputs = {};
  outputs = { self }: {
    jsonFunction = _: "function";
    json = builtins.toJSON (_: "function");
  };
}

```
- Before:

```console
❯ nix eval --json .#jsonFunction
error: cannot convert a function to JSON
```

- After:

```console
❯ nix eval --json .#jsonFunction
error: cannot convert a function to JSON

       at /nix/store/b7imf1c2j4jnkg3ys7fsfbj02s5j0i4f-source/testflake/flake.nix:4:5:

            3|   outputs = { self }: {
            4|     jsonFunction = _: "function";
             |     ^
            5|     json = builtins.toJSON (_: "function");

df552a2645 nix eval: Add option to write a directory
This is useful for generating the nix manpages, but it may have other
applications (like generating configuration files without a Nix store).

This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single
compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't
hurt...

ca8caaec5e nix: Add --expr flag
This replaces the '(...)' installable syntax, which is not very
discoverable. The downside is that you can't have multiple expressions
or mix expressions and other installables.
